ENGLISH TRANSLATION
51.Then the great sage Durväsä returned. Aware of all that had happened, he stood before the king and angrily pulled a hair from his matted locks. 52.From that hair appeared a ferocious person blazing like fire. Sword in hand, he was eager to kill King Ambariña. 53.Lord Kåñëa's Sudarçana-cakra, splendid like ten million suns, gazed at the the person created by magic, and then cut him to pieces. Then the Lord's cakra became eager to cut up the brähmaëa sage Durväsä. 54.Seeing the Sudarçana-cakra, the brähmaëa Durväsä became frightened and fled. Burning like the fire at the time of cosmic devastation, the Sudarçana cakra chased him. 55.Frightened and unhappy, the sage ran here and there to different places in the universe. Remembering the demigod Brahmä, who controls the universe, Durväsä took shelter of him. 56.Calling out, Save me! Save me!", Durväsä ran into Brahmä's assembly. O sage, Brahmä at once stood up and asked about his welfare. 57.Durväsä told him everything from the beginning. Frightened, Brahmä sighed and spoke. 58.Çri Brahmä said: Child, who gave you the power to curse a servant of Lord Kåñëa? Who in the three worlds has the power to kill a person Lord Kåñëa protects? 59.Lord Kåñëa, who dearly loves them, always protects His devotees, both great and small, with His Sudarçana-cakra. 60.O brähmaëa, only a fool will become an enemy of a devotee of Lord Kåñëa. Lord Kåñëa considers His devotees as dear as life. Lord Kåñëa can easily kill anyone that tries to kill His devotee. |
